    Not entirely correct. It really depends on location, size, depth, positive surgical margins, and tissue removed.

    I removed a 2cm mass from a 24 year old male and it healed fine. Secondary concern would be if your skin forms keloids - but this is largely an aesthetic issue, not recovery dependent.

    See your MD as advised.
